Your next step is to write the blurb. What I do is find a previous panel blurb and replace the info.

You can do this at any time, and the web site can pre-announce for several months for you, or you can wait until after the February Meeting, or better is to announce at the February meeting. _______________________________________________ Planning mailing list Planning at lula.org http://www.lula.org/mailman/listinfo/planning From bredfern at calarts.edu Sat Dec 11 00:07:30 2004 From: bredfern at calarts.edu (Brian Redfern) Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2004 21:07:30 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Planning] Re: [Lula] getting involved with open source - soliciting panelist for March LULA meeting In-Reply-To: <41BA6D24.90400@kegel.com> Message-ID: I could talk about Drupal, which I'm about to submit some php code to.

Pete -- Dear Gareth, I'm a member of the LULA.org and co-founder of LAMPSIG.org. We are wondering about the hours the exhibit area would be open for on Saturday and Sunday, so we may set up our online form with them to solicit member volunteers to man the booth. http://lula.peterbenjamin.com/shows/scale3x is an example. Click on the "Sign Up" link to view the form. These pages still need more editing before release to our members. Also, when is the table set up time? Is it Friday late afternoon, Friday all day, or just Saturday morning? The online form needs this information for set up volunteers. Once the these pages are fully done I will be contacting other LUGs to see if they would like to use this online capability as well. Please do not advertise this in advance. Thank you.

I'm donating the same CGI to LAMPSIG, of course, as I am co-founder. Likely, I will donate the CGI to LILAX and other LUGs, once I get around to posting to those mailing lists. SGVLUG comes to mind, as does SCLUG. Other LUGs can contact me directly. And I should have noted that we need to find a volunteer to help select what "topic" will be presented at our table and be the liason with the SCALE planner in charge of tables. Any volunteers for this role? I'll hunt up my last year's posts on the role's responsibilities and post it on the main LULA list this coming week. _______________________________________________ Planning mailing list Planning at lula.org http://www.lula.org/mailman/listinfo/planning From pete-lug at peterbenjamin.com Tue Dec 7 02:09:49 2004 From: pete-lug at peterbenjamin.com (Peter Benjamin) Date: Mon, 06 Dec 2004 23:09:49 -0800 Subject: [Planning] Next meeting topic or cancel 1 week before?

It requires me to edit the HTML and pathnames for the database. Do click on the link for Signup and try it yourself. The page is designed to be printed on a single 8.5x11 sheet for use at meetings for manually signing up. Let me know ***sooner***, not later, as it does take some time to get it tested and we do want time to PR the new URL for LULA members to sign up for.

The web site should be updated to reflect there is no December meeting, and that Chris Smith is our speaker for January 18th. Is is January 18th right? And the room is reserved and confirmed? Then we can post to our main list about the January meeting. We should post to the list there is no December meeting soon. Could we change the Installfest to a special on this Saturday at RM2 with Ray of LPBN?

I hear table space is scare as the USC and SCLUG volunteers have done another wonderful job and the exhibit space is at a premium this year. We need a volunteer coordinator for the booth volunteers. Yes, I know this is a quick follow up post from my last one, and it will be the last time I mention it for LULA.
